Abstract

A scalable Impulse Radio (IR) Ultrawideband (UWB) air interface is proposed for Low Data Rate (LDR) Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) applications. Reduced-complexity transmitter and receiver designs are also proposed. The performance of the proposed IR-UWB multiuser system is investigated in PAN propagation environments. Various different receiver detection techniques are compared and it is shown that in the case of a multipath channel, the Windowed Signal Multiplication (WSM) scheme outperforms other potential detectors based on pulse template generation.
